Problem21 68

The document calculates the force F13 between two charges q1 and q3 located at a distance r13 from each other. It then calculates the force F23 between charges q2 and q3 located at a distance of r23. It finds the x and y components of the total force and calculates the magnitude and angle of the total force below the x-axis.

21.68: a)  F13   2


cos θiˆ  sin θˆj
4πε0 r13 4πε0 r132
 1 (5.00 nC)(6.00 nC) 4 ˆ 1 (5.00 nC)(6.00 nC) 3 ˆ
 F13   4
i  j
4πε0 ((9.00  16.0)  10 m) 5 4πε0 ((9.00  16.0)  10 4 m) 5

 F13   (8.64  105 N) iˆ  (6.48  10 5 N) ˆj.
Similarly for the force from the other charge:
  1 q2 q3 ˆ  1 (2.00 nC)(6.00 nC) ˆ
F23  2
j 2
j  (1.20  10  4 N ) ˆj
4πε0 r23 4πε0 (0.0300 m)
Therefore the two force components are:
Fx  8.64  10 5 N Fy  6.48  10 5  12.0  105  5.52  10 5 N
b) Thus, F  Fx2  Fy2  (8.64  105 N)2  (5.52  105 N)2  1.03  104 N,
and the angle is θ  arctan(Fy Fx )  32.6, below the x axis
